As parents who are self-professed computer nerds and ‘avid indoorsmen’, we are all about activities that help Cool Baby expend energy while we can sit motionless and watch. Enter the Little Kid Dance Party.
We recently stumbled upon a Little Kid Dance Party at a local children’s museum. We had gone to the basement bathrooms to take care of business before trekking back home across Manhattan. Then we heard the bass thumping and discovered a horde of jumping, hyperactive children bouncing off each other and the walls of a large, open room.
Some young museum staffers had plugged their iPod into the sound system and were playing DJ for these all-too-eager kiddos. Cool Mum and I probably high-fived and encouraged CB to join in the American Bandstand-like fun. Fortunately, we had our camcorder to capture the safe, innocent revelry that the boy was about to enjoy [embedded video below for your RSS readers]:
OK, maybe Little Kid Dance Parties are not that safe. But overall, the boy had fun, and we got to stand still for a few minutes. Now, that’s a good time.

wow, he got clocked! Glad to see that he handled it like a champ.
He’s ready for Dancing with the Stars! Or WWE.
I’d be the mom that went and pulled the offender aside for a manners lesson. No apology? No helping him up? Nice. New Yorkers. Sheesh!
I didn’t know who to be more threatened by: the mom or the girl!
Awwww. He’s so cute.
That girl is a meanie, though. She could have said sorry!
Amen.
Poor kiddo! But he was so cute dancing – and if I’m not mistaken, I think the little guy has quite the swagger when he walks! So cute.
And hey – was the CM? HI, CM!
Yup! He’s cool and he knows it.
that was me! hi!
Oh, P.S., have you heard Jim Gaffigan talk about being “indoorsy”? Almost as funny as your “avid indoorsman.”
‘Avid indoorsman’ is a CM-coined phrase. She’s a clever one!
